how often should you use conditioner

The frequency of using conditioner depends on hair type and the kind of conditioner used. Generally, rinse-out conditioner is recommended after every wash, ideally a few times a week. For dry, coarse, curly, or color-treated hair, daily or every other day conditioning may be beneficial. Leave-in conditioner is usually applied about once a week, more often for dry or damaged hair. Deep conditioning treatments are used about once a month or as needed. Cleansing conditioners, which also act as shampoo, can be used as frequently as shampoo, daily or every other day for oily or fine hair. For normal hair, conditioning 2-3 times a week focusing on the ends is typical, while thicker or dry hair may need more frequent conditioning. If hair feels weighed down, conditioning less often is advised.
